Hybrid framework for mitigating illegitimate Peer Nodes in Multimedia file sharing in P

Peer to Peer network is one of the frequently used application in terms of file sharing over a global large network. In such types of network, there can exists an illegitimate peer node who will attempt to have an unauthorized access to premium digital content. As it is very difficult to catch hold of the intruder or the illegal client inside the network, the proposed system will at least attempt to prevent access to the digital content available. The proposed system is focused on multimedia file sharing where the protocol will be designed in such a way that whenever any unauthorized peer node will attempt to download any premium digital content, the proposed model will assign a poison chunk of data to be forwarded to the illegitimate client. This phenomenon will result in exponential increase of download time rending discouragement to download the same file by the illegal downloader. While the protocol assures the secure delivery of the cleaner chunk of data to the legitimate client.
